Peak 8 Fun Park (Summer at the Resort)
Worth it? YES for families in summer: the free gondola carries you up to Peak 8 for the Gold Runner alpine coaster, the alpine slides, mini-golf, a ropes course, climbing wall, and scenic lift rides — an easy, fun mountain day for kids, plus hiking/biking access. Buy an Adventure Pass or tickets for the day. Weather can pause rides (afternoon storms), so go earlier in the day.
Who it’s NOT for: Winter visitors — the Fun Park is a SUMMER operation (winter is skiing); it's closed in the snow season. Adults wanting a quiet nature day — it's a busy, family-oriented activity park, not a wilderness experience. Anyone expecting it free — rides are individually ticketed or via an Adventure Pass (the gondola ride up is free). Serious thrill-seekers expecting a big theme park — it's a mountain alpine-coaster/slide + activities park, family-scaled.
Skip it if: It's winter (closed — ski instead), you want a quiet nature outing, or you're not into a ticketed family activity park. Thrill-seekers wanting a big coaster park will find it family-scaled.
Time needed: A half to full day for a family; a couple of hours if you're just doing the coaster + a scenic ride. (research)
Best time: Summer (roughly mid-June–early September, weather dependent); go earlier in the day to beat afternoon storms and lines. Confirm current season/hours live.
